Primary Care in Southington, CT
Whether you’re feeling under the weather or managing your health long-term, you can see me by telehealth or right at home.
Hi, I’m Melissa Oldham, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of MelMed Care & Wellness. I started MelMed so you never have to feel rushed, unheard, or like just another appointment on the schedule. Whether you need a same-day sick visit, help managing a chronic condition, or a partner for your long-term health, I’ll take the time to listen and build a plan that fits your life.
Every patient deserves care that is compassionate, accessible, convenient, and personalized. My dream is a warm, welcoming practice where you feel heard, respected, and never rushed.

Meet Your Provider: Melissa Oldham, FNP-BC
Melissa Oldham is a board-certified Nurse Practitioner and the founder of MelMed, created from her vision of making healthcare more personal, accessible, and connected. Throughout her career, Melissa has seen how difficult it can be for patients to find a provider who has the time to truly listen, understand their concerns, and build a lasting relationship. She created MelMed to offer a different kind of healthcare experience—one centered around the patient as a whole person.
Originally from Jamaica, Melissa brings the values of family, community, compassion, and hard work into the way she practices medicine. She is also a wife and mother of two young daughters, and motherhood has given her an even deeper appreciation for the importance of having healthcare providers you can trust with the people who matter most.
At MelMed, Melissa combines compassionate, individualized care with evidence-based medicine to address acute concerns, preventive health, chronic condition management, and overall wellness. She believes patients should feel comfortable asking questions, understand their healthcare choices, and be active participants in decisions about their health.
Her vision is to create a modern and welcoming practice where quality healthcare is convenient without becoming impersonal. She strives to provide an environment where patients feel heard, respected, and never like just another appointment on the schedule.
Outside of caring for her patients, Melissa enjoys spending time with her family and embracing the everyday moments of motherhood. Her experiences as a healthcare provider, wife, mother, and member of her community continue to shape the kind of provider she strives to be—compassionate, approachable, and committed to caring for every patient with the same thoughtfulness she would want for her own family.
